Description

In Stison, if you need to change a payee for a contributor, you have the ability to re-allocate any balance held against the existing payee to the new payee. However, we received feedback that some parts of this process were not as clear as they could be

To make this action clearer, we have adjusted the screen to better describe the process.

If you want to change the payee completely then first you will need to Select the check box beside the line you wish to change and the click on Remove selected. 

This will then bring up the following window: 

Selecting 're-allocate' will then bring up this window:

We have changed the labeling on this screen to better describe what each field does.

In the example above, the new contributor (not yet selected) would be allocated 100% of Jay Gatsby's leftover balance, and moving forward, would receive 100% of Jay Gatsby's royalties. If you were creating a split payment with this re-allocation, you would need to reduce the 'Allocate %' field to the appropriate proportion for this new payee. Eg if you set it to 50%, they would receive 50% of the leftover balance, and 50% of the royalties going forwards. You would then need to do the same for the second payee.
